A manufacturer believes that the variability of one of its processes is o?y=0.0005 millimeter?. A sample is taken from the process (sample size n = 6) and the sample variance is calculated to be s?y= 0.0020. Assuming that the measurements follow a normal distribution, evaluate the manufacturer's claim assuming an a value of 0.02. a) What statistic will you use to solve the problem? b) What is the value of the statistic? c) Do you agree with the claim of...
Two different alloys are formed through powder metallurgy methods. The only difference between the twopowder mixes is that alloy A contains a slightly larger amount of manganese than alloy B. Metallurgists want toknow if there is a significant difference in the hardness between the two alloys. Eight hardness-testing specimenswere prepared from each powder mix, producing the hardness values shown in the accompanying table. Alloy A 210 199 205 207 211 214 Alloy B 208 213 209 215 213 213 Assuming...
1. A manufacturer claims that the mean lifetime of its lithium battery is 1000 hours. A homeowner selects 40 batteries and finds the mean lifetime to be 990 hours with a standard deviation of 80 hours. Test the manufacturer's claim. Use alpha = 0.05. a. Calculate the test statistics. test statistics= (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth) Answer is not 0.79 or 0.80 2. A local juice manufacturer distributes juice in bottles labeled 12 ounces. A government agency thinks that...
A manufacturer claims his light bulbs have a mean life of 2000 hours. A consumer group wants to test if their light bulbs do not last as long as the manufacturer claims. They tested a random sample of 210 bulbs and found them to have a sample mean life of 1980 hours and a sample standard deviation of 50 hours. Assess the manufacturer's claim. a) What is the null hypothesis? Ou = 2000 O x = 2000 Ox< 2000 Ou...
2) A manufacturer is planning to purchase of a new welder to be used to assemble steel enclosures for products. The size of the weld seam produced by the welder is of interest. The seam widths produced by traditional welding operations have had a mean of 0.15 inch and a standard deviation of 0.010 inch, and the widths are normally distributed. Five trials with the welder produce an average seam width of 0.14 inch. Using a risk level of α...
A manufacturer claims his light bulbs have a mean life of 1800 hours. A consumer group wants to test if their light bulbs do not last as long as the manufacturer claims. They tested a random sample of 270 bulbs and found them to have a sample mean life of 1790 hours and a sample standard deviation of 60 hours. Assess the manufacturer's claim. a) What is the null hypothesis? Correct: y = 1800 Incorrect x = 1800 Incorrect x...
The life in hours of a battery is known to be approximately normally distributed, with standard deviation o = 1.25 hours. A random sample of 10 batteries has a mean life of x = 40.5 hours. (a) Is there evidence to support the claim that battery life exceeds 40 hours? Use a = 0.010. The battery life significantly different greater than 40 hours at a = 0.010. (b) What is the P-value for the test in part (a)? P-value =...
The battery life of Westlight Electric's new battery is normally distributed with population mean of 600 hours and population standard deviation of 75 hours. A simple random sample of 16 batteries is planned to be taken to check adherence to the standard of 600 hours. Suggestion: Assign the appropriate symbol to the numbers in this problem. What is the probability that the sample mean will be less than 570 hours? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. Answer = What...
The mean potassium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 148 mg in a 32-oz bottle. Analysis of 40 bottles indicates a sample mean of 147.4 mg. (a) State the hypotheses for a two-tailed test of the claimed potassium content. H0: μ = 148 mg vs. H1: μ ≠ 148 mg H0: μ ≤ 148 mg vs. H1: μ > 148 mg H0: μ ≥ 148 mg vs. H1: μ < 148 mg a b c (b) Assuming...
You are testing the claim that the mean GPA of night students is different from the mean GPA of day students. You sample 30 night students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.35 with a standard deviation of 0.46. You sample 25 day students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.58 with a standard deviation of 0.47. Test the claim using a 5% level of significance. Assume the sample standard deviations are unequal and that GPAs are normally distributed. Give...
